Message from
Director General, Ms. Sulabha Ranade

I take immense pleasure in welcoming you to our institute’s
website. Established in 1984, SAMEER, over the last three
decades has developed as a centre of excellence in Microwave
Research and Development. SAMEER has been involved in Research
and Development of various systems and subsystems for government
departments, public sector undertakings and other user agencies.

The
indigenous development of Medical Linac for cancer therapy in
1990 and design, development and commissioning of Mesosphere,
Stratosphere and Troposphere (MST) Radar in Gadanki near
Triupati (the 2nd largest Radar in the world) for
ISRO in 1994 for atmospheric studies, were the important
milestones.It made
SAMEER a premier institute in India carrying out Research and
Development activities in the field of RF and Microwave and its
allied areas. SAMEER
has successfully developed many systems and subsystems for
strategic applications.

Our core areas of expertise include
Linear Accelerator, RF/Microwave and Millimetre Wave
Technologies, Atmospheric Radars and Radar based
instrumentation, Communications, Antennas, Photonics, EMI/EMC
etc. SAMEER has a dedicated and competent team with strong
inter-disciplinary skills, which can partner with our
collaborators to achieve greater heights.

The expertise and knowledge base
acquired is continuously enhanced by way of executing core and
sponsored projects in respective fields. SAMEER continues to
focus on in-house technology development through its core R&D
programs and keeps abreast with technology in today’s global
scenario. The domain expertise attained is put to use by taking
up sponsored activities for generation of wealth for the nation.
I can envision a significant
role of SAMEER in the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the
Government of India by establishment of indigenous technology in
our national development & growth.

With setting up of Electromagnetic
Environmental Effects (E3) Laboratory at Vizag and Centre of
High Power Microwave Tube and Component Technology at IITG
Campus, Guwahati, Assam, in addition to the existing Centres at
Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, the institute is on the threshold
of a massive expansion in its capacity building task. The
institute is also collaborating with various ministries and
other agencies in research and development.

With the
current initiatives of development of High Energy Linear
Accelerator (30 MeV) for medical isotope (Tc99) production,
Indigenous technology development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) andNational
Navigation with Indian Constellations (NavIC) undertaken by
SAMEER under ‘Digital India’ programme of Government of India,
SAMEER is poised for a quantum leap in its reach and
deliverance.

A multi-institutional initiative involving IIT Madras, IIT
Bombay, IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IISc Bangalore,
CEWiT (Centre of Excellence in Wireless Technology at IIT
Madras) and SAMEER, for setting-up of 5G test bed, which will
enable companies to conduct research experiments on the latest
generation of mobile telephony domestically, has been approved
by the Government of India.

I thank the Ministry of Electronics &
Information Technology (MeitY) for their technical, financial
and administrative support, without which it would not have been
possible for SAMEER to be a premier R&D institute.

We look forward
to collaborations with national and international organisations
in our field of expertise to achieve the goals and vision of
indigenous technology development.
